romney didn't have that. there was immediately a turn by the media for the next convention coming up. i suspect we got a little bit of a bounce for obama. see how long it lasts. the department put this back together for me. in 1980 after the conventions jimmy carter led ronald reagan 44-40 and after the convention it was 55 dukakis das to 48 bush 41. he and bill o'reilly talking about where voters stand right now. >> it looks to me like an extraordinary number of americans are not locked in yet. i think the debates may galvanize that. there are a lot of people who you go out you ask what the issueings are they go the economy but they don't know what romney stands for as opposed to

president obama. it seems to me the electorate are getting dumb error more apathetic. >> when i think both parties are worried about is voters are getting so disillusioned from politics and politicians they have tuned them all out. it is not entirely clear to me who that helps most. there is a certain presumption with a sitting president. it's an advantage but goes along with the burdens of the record you may be carrying, too. it is part of what counts for president obama's boyian see. they don't think this other guy could make a difference because they don't think anybody can. >> first of the debates october 3rd in denver. it is time now for your first degree weather update. maria molina has chilly temperatures in the northeast. >> good morning. good to see you patti ann and heather. we are looking at chili

>> 14 after the hour. the white house is knocking down a report from the government accountability institute that finds the president missed his important daily briefing more than half of the time. the president of the united states gets the presidential daily briefing every day. there's a document he reads every day -- he always reads it every day because he's a voer rash shoes consumer of all of his briefing materials.

>> the president only attended 44 percent of his daily briefings through may. wrestling legend and announcer lawler rush to do the hospital after suffering a heart attack during wwe monday night raw in montreal. he collapsed and received cpr. he is breathing on his own and is in stable condition. now to stories you can bank on this morning. there's a new buzz word when it comes to why some u.s. companies are reluctant to hire. here to explain is lauren simonetti from the fox business network. thank you for joining us. >> that buzz word is uncertainty. according to a survey by staffing foreman power the vast majority seeing no change hiring plans in the 4th quarter. they are uncertain how to slow down in europe. they also fret about the u.s. presidential elections and of course the up coming fiscal clip when the massive spending cuts are set to take in. the survey is based on

interviews with 20,000 american employers and is considered leading indicator of trends in the job market. >> on the heels of the debt reaching the $16 trillion mark we have the deficit higher than expected. >> the u.s. deficit for the 11th month of the fiscal year which ends at the end of this month is $1.17 trillion. that according to the congressional budget office is expected to be the 4th straight year the deficit will exceed a trillion dollars. the announce am comes on the heels of the u.s. debt for passi -- surpassing $16 trillion. consumers are reducing their credit card debt. >> because we are being more responsibility. but it shows we are not comfortable spending money. that's a worried sign for the economy. they are jittery about there particularly about the job market. if you don't have a job you are not going to put money on your credit card. the federal reserve said yesterday consumer credit fell

in july for the first time in nearly a year. consumer credit fell 3.3 billion. wall street was expecting a $9 billion advance. it declined even though americans spent more money in july. that was the best spending report we got in five months. >> we will come back to the buzz word uncertainty across the board. lauren simonetti for the fox business network. >> good to see you. the time is 17 after the hour. the federal reserve looked poised to take action following friday's lackluster jobs report. speaking of that we will tell you how the fed's version of a stimulus will impact your wallet. the parents of a member of team 6 the unit that killed osama bin laden is speaking out saying the white house has since put their kid's lives in jeopardy. prices at the pump, the national average standing at 3.84 a gallon.

looks set to launch its own version of a stimulus. a third round of bond purchases. what would qe 3 mean to you and your wallet? let's ask personal finance expert vera givens. >> good morning, patty ann. >> let's start with jobs. >> when you flood the economy with cash and keep interest rates at rock bottom they make the additional investments that would mean theoretically adding to the payrolls. i don't think with this environment, companies are used to getting 3 jobs from one worker. it is not that type of environment. nothing to do with interest rates has more to do with politics. >> how about getting a loan? >> technically it should be easier. easier for consumers to get loans or businesses to get loans but banks are not lending. it has nothing to do with the sides of the cash reserve they don't want to take the risk. people who don't need the money verses people who actually do. that environment will be the

same. >> the interest on the sfok market not just stock investors people have their 401 k stock market benefit. >> here is one benefit. it has been on the rise in anticipation we all get a round of stimulus. it is looking likely given the dismal jobs report. if you compel investors to get out of the low yielding investments and move into riskyer investments. it's a rise for the market. we have seen over 13,000 a large part is because of the content. >> back to the down side. the impact on your purchasing power. one of the main impacts is you have got a weaker dollar so that makes your imports more expensive, european cars and vacations for example. commodity the rise sugar, corn, wheat, gold is on fire right now. you end up paying more at the grocery store, at the pump, et cetera. >> as the value of the dollar declines. meanwhile trying to save put

money in a cd whatever interest rates there are horrible. >> when they are easing rates which go lower it is good for credit worthy borrowers but bad to for savings. >> you have the stock market looking better but things like cd's not so good. if you are looking right now to make some kind of a move stocks? >> so many uncertainties with the election around the corner. it is good to have a balanced well rounded portfolio. how is that for an answer? >> good sound advice. vera gibbons. 24 after the hour. still to come the taliban issuing a death threat to a member of the royal family saying it will use all of its strength to kill orchid n -- orp one of the princes. who needs politicians. apple's iphone could provide the
